IELTS Reading: It's Not a Test of Intelligence. It's a Test of Strategy.

Lesson Summary:

The IELTS Reading module isn’t testing your knowledge. It’s testing how smartly you read. With 40 questions in 60 minutes, even the brightest minds lose their way — unless they know the tricks of the test.

“IELTS Reading is not about reading everything. It’s about finding something — and finding it fast.”


🕵️ What You’re Up Against:

  • 3 long passages (800–900 words each)

  • 14 different question types (True/False/Not Given, Matching, Headings, MCQs, etc.)

  • Time crunch is your biggest enemy.


💡 Common Student Mistakes:

  1. Reading the whole passage first.
    This wastes time and tires your brain.

  2. Panicking over unknown words.
    Vocabulary is important, but guessing from context is gold.

  3. Misunderstanding question types.
    "False" is not the same as "Not Given" — and one wrong assumption can wreck your score.


🎯 My Proven Strategy:

1. Read the Questions First

Before diving into the passage, read what you're being asked. Your eyes now know what to search for.

2. Skim Smart, Not Slow

I’ll teach you to skim like a detective, not like a tourist. You’ll learn to:

  • Catch key ideas

  • Spot keywords

  • Ignore filler

3. Scan with Surgical Precision

Once you’ve spotted the location in the passage, slow down and scan line by line to locate the answer.

4. Don’t Fight the Clock

Each question gets 1.5 minutes, max. I train you to work within that frame — calmly and effectively.


🚀 What You’ll Learn with Me:

  • How to master each question type with confidence

  • How to build speed without losing accuracy

  • How to tackle academic-level reading even if you don’t love reading


🎁 Bonus Tip:

“IELTS rewards clarity, not cleverness.”

You're not writing an essay — you're solving a puzzle. I help you become a strategic reader, not a slow scholar.
